I don’t come anywhere near you in knowledge, but collecting for almost half a century has still given me a good sense of what to do – and what to NOT do.

I despair sometimes at the amount of hype in the popular media, and more so how many people ignore “caveat emptor” before paying ridiculously inflated prices. A few years ago I spent a lot of blog time trying to dissuade a bunch of people from buying those infamous “ballistic rolls” of Presidential dollars. Sadly there were a couple of ’em who just couldn’t make it past “Oooh! SHINY!” [/sigh]

PCGS is still l00ked @ as the gold standard & NGC a close 2nd. NGC seems to get a lot of rarities, maybe some kind of symbiotic relationship going on, I don’t know. Anyway, always look @ the coin, but the coin…’nnot the holder” ~~ develop your eye, you can get nice ones from almost any of PCGS, NGC, IGC or ANACS, but the latter 2 are a bit inconsistent & tend to suffer from grade inflation or don’t always designate a coin as being enhanced…..(Cleaned, etc…)

I know a guy, before the internet, who would go to the 2 annual ANA coin shows each year & buy coins from one dealer & sell to another on the same bourse floor & make enough profit to pay all his trip expenses & still have money left over! He now runs the ancient coins division of NGC – David Vagi (a genius wonderboy!) Simply amazing.

If I remember right the East coast prices were lower but I assume that with the Internet and today’s technology that that difference doesn’t exist so much anymore.

That is some great, wise advice you have given to Mark S. I agree totally with your comments.

Mark S. –

There are approximately 6,000 coin dealers in the USA. TV coin dealers pay the highest advertising costs to be on television & they pass that cost on to those who buy from them. I have never seen a “great deal” from a coin dealer ad or show on television in the decades I have watched them to see how they operate. They don’t offer truly rare coins because there are not enough to go around. Instead, they offer common coins at high prices. They are like carnival barkers IMHO. Buyer Beware!
You seem to have been taken advantage of from what you posted. I don’t usually recommend any one dealer over others I deal with, but check out the website: mintproducts.com owned by Jeff Kierstead, a member of the Professional Numismatists Guild for a fair offering on a wide variety of US & foreign coins, both raw & certified by the top tier grading services PCGS & NGC. Modern Coin Mart in Sarasota, Florida has a good mix of all types of coins & free S&H on all orders & no minimum amount per order, so you can buy for example one silver bullion coin for less than $25 & test their offerings if you want to. I have found these & others to be fair in their dealings, including L&C Coins in Alamitos, California & Yesterday’s Change coin company in Henrico, Virginia (I knew this coin dealer father & son team since the early 80s) & he offers some fair deals.
I have no financial interest in any of these coin companies, just as a customer. The decision is yours of course. Good luck Mark S.

I totally agree with you. STEP AWAY FROM THE TV!

Mark S.
ICG and ANACS are two of the top four grading services. But PCGS and NGC are the top two. “Buy what you can afford” has always been the way to go. So you are safe to buy from ICG and ANACS. But many collectors would rather go with PCGS and NGC.
I’m not sure I understand your comment, “That’s way I don’t buy from someone here..” Are you talking about buying from someone on TV or someone “here” on this website? I, and many others, wouldn’t buy from anyone on TV and I don’t think anyone on this website sells coins on this website.

I’ve bought coins Kennedy’s had them sent to be certified and came back CLEANed…
That’s like buying a car and discovering the frame was bent………..That’s way I don’t buy from someone here an FK.n gone…….

E.g. a few simple searches turned up several different dealers offering 1909 VDB cents in MS64 RB for roughly half of what you quoted.

Maybe I’m overly skittish but I tend to walk (or more often run) the other way when I see ads for “unique” sets and “instant collectibles” in magazines or on TV.

I’m more interested in the palladium coin which at today’s prices is >$460 less than gold.
